How often it can run
Paid plans
At most once an hour.
Free plan
At most once a day. Creating refuses a more frequent schedule, and an automation that already ran today waits for the next day.
Time zone
Each automation has its own time zone. The row shows the schedule in words and the next run; when its time zone differs from yours, the time shows the zone next to it.
Pause, edit, delete
Pause
Turns it off without deleting. The history stays.
Edit
Adjust the name, instruction, time and spending limit per run.
Delete
Removes the automation and stops the next runs. It asks for confirmation and cannot be undone.
Automation that only runs a script.When the routine is always the same, Prophet can keep the script it tested and run just the script, without AI. Each run costs 2 credits. This path only uses keys saved in Secrets. The panel shows the script under The script and what it printed under Run output; to change it, use Ask for a change.
